Our daily tweets

10:49 This is Danielle, Twittering now from the Proctors inauguration party. So far, it's pretty subdued, about 120 people watching the big screen

10:51 The crowd clapped as CBS showed Obama coming out to get in the van and head to the Capitol.

10:55 The crowd is taking pictures of the screen, but is generally really quiet. Much different from the rowdy EMPAC election party.

11:04 Bill of Albany said he is proud to be here for a day his parents thought they would never see. This is a day of firsts, he says.

11:11 Some maroon keeps flashing the screen with a laser pointer. Is this high school?

11:18 The folks in the box office and coffee bar are watching the big screen outside. They don't seem to mind not being in here.

11:24 Janiqua, 14, of Schenectady, said she believes an Obama presidency will mean more equal rights for black Americans.

11:39 The crowd goes wild as Obama walks out. Obama looks very serene.

11:42 This theater is almost full now. There are maybe 250 people here now, more streaming in by the minute.

11:44 Obama is getting a standing ovation from this crowd

11:50 Controversial pastor Rick Warren is now leading a prayer. I thought there might be some protest from the Proctors crowd, but there was none.

11:54 Aretha! That's a big bow!

11:58 Biden's in! The crowd is cheering loudly, but saving some restraint for the main act.

12:05 The television just announced that Bush's term expired at noon

12:06 Everyone in the theater is standing and screaming!

12:27 Another standing ovation for Obama's speech. I think this crowd will leave the theater possessing a little more hope than when they came in.

12:43 Heidi from Conn. was moved to tears and said she thinks Obama is absolutely right in saying that all Americans must do better.
